Good morning. I actually don't mind the taste of most alcohol. Of course, if I was drinking purely for taste, I'd drink apple juice or something. The goal is reduced self awareness and a loss of inhibitions. I don't feel like I lose control of myself. I can decide what I'm doing; I just don't put as much thought into my decisions. This does occasionally result in a bad decision (such as drinking too much), but in the scheme of things, it is not a big deal.
